The School Where Kids Go To Avoid Prison

Moses Montefiore Academy in Chicago is a specialist therapeutic school for the city’s most at-risk students. Children who come to the academy have often been expelled from other public schools, and many come from abusive or disruptive households.

In this Peabody Award winning and Emmy nominated documentary series, VICE is given unprecedented access to the halls of Montefiore, meeting the students, parents and teachers fighting tirelessly to keep the school alive and the kids out of prison.
